This book rethinks Montaigne's philosophical thought in terms of transversality by investigating the essayist's debt to ancient life writers Diogenes Laertius and Plutarch. Its scope is of interest to scholars of ancient and early modern life writing, ancient and early modern philosophy, as well as scholars of early modern literary history.
